How Business Methods are Learn

HOW BUSINESS Metn009 are Learn.
The following is taken from the Farm,
Stock and Home.
A recent visit to, and an examination of
the G. G. Curtiss Business Colleges, located
in Minneapolis and st. Paul, revealed the
fact that these Institutions were practical
ly two busy cities, doing large and varied
business with each other in all kinds OF
commodities, and subject to all the con-
ditions and requirements OF trade between
real cities. All this business is transacted
by correspondents and every letter is re-
quired to be written dramatically and
in proper business form. Ordering goods,
filling orders, collecting accounts through
banks; giving, discounting and paying
bank notes, in fact every possible detail
or necessity which can arise in
business is here provided for. These dual col.
leges have one advantage which is pos
sessed by no other single college or chain OF
them, and that lie. both ends OF the line
are under the personal supervision OF the
same instructor! The contiguity OF the
two cities makes this possible yet SO far as
the merchants in each city are concern.
ed they are as il a thousand miles apart.
To avoid any further enlargement on
this particular feature, we will say that
during Mr.. Curtiss' long experience in and
deep study OF business education he has
ever striven for the highest practicability.
and we can but ieel that he has now at
tanned it. Mr.. Curtiss is too wise to guar
antee to complete students course in q
given time, but it is safe to say that when
the student leaves his college it is as q
merchant, banker, or whatever other bust.
ness he may have studied for.
As schools of penmanship we regard
these as being quite as near perfection as
possible. The high excellence in this art is
here possessed by instructors who have the
rare faculty of imparting their gifts in a
manner both pleasing and effective. Tele-
graphing, shorthand and type-writing are
made important adiuncts to these excel
lent schools.
The highest praise which can be given to
these schools is to say that they are rapid
~ growing in favor; the attendance is
larger now than ever before at this season,
and after seeing SO many more excellent
features than we have time to describe, we
cannot wonder at this evidence Unpopular
ity and success. We heartily commend
Mr.. Curtiss and his methods OF instruc-
ton to our country boys and girls who
want to know more OF the great business
world.

Death in the Wire.

There IS death in the electric light
wire" Thus spoke prominent cleo
trician of this city recently. 1.-THE
worst of 1t is the danger is increasing
daily" he continued, "and the public
should be aware OF it. The longer the
wire is in service the greater is the
danger. Something should be done,
and the quicker the better. You may
rest assured that nothing will be done
by the electric light companies until
the public compels them to act. The
trouble is the American people are
long suffering. They pay little heed
to probable dangers and only act
when the dire result of their needless
ness is made manifest. No one will
deny that the electric light wires which
run along Chestnut street are each
charged with electricity sui
icient in strength to kill dozens
of men. The only safeguard
is the thin insulating covering on
the wires. In hundreds of places the
heavily charged elongated death traps
run within easy reach of the people
in their houses and stores. Children
can lean out of the second. story win.
dows and touch them in many places,
as can and do thousands of working
men and girls in mills and workshops.
There are several ways in which the
current might be turned from
the wire sufficiently to cause
death. They may talk as they
please about perfect and lasting insu.
lation, but every electrician knows
that exposure to the weather, the
swaying Of wires against trees and the
dragging of telegraph and telephone
wires across the coating of theelectric
light wire is bound to injure and final.
ly to wear it away. The wires have
been up long enough to render the in.
sulation rotten, and Il isgetting worse
every day. That is why / say the dan.
ger is increasing.
Should wire become detached from
a pole and left to swing near the
street, as has been the case several
Clul0S, duu SuOulu u man c00nCe TO
touch the wire at q point where the
insulation was imperfect, he would be
killed instantly. Should man press
the point OF O penkniie through the
covering, as could easily be done, the
chances are ten to one that he would
end his life ut that instant; or should
one Of the many people at second
story windows touch wire where the
insulation was bad the same fatal re-
suit would follow.
i In case OF fire the danger is very
great to iremen. Cutting and drag
ging telephone wire down frequently
wears of the insulation. Now, sup
pose q fireman standing on the vet
ground and holding nozzle Of & pipe
against charged electric light wire
at . point where the insulator was
impurfect. The connection TO the
ground through the stream 81 water
to the fireman would b. Almxets per-
tect and death would surely follow"

The Tables Turned.

That peacefully disposed young bear
which Thomas Strong presented to the
city is kept chained In the deer pad,
dock at the city park. The other day
it broke its chain and started in to have
venison dinner. It ran after the
deer till the young buck turned on it
and combed its fur with his horns, and
kicked it on the snout and made the
blood run, and finally the bear inflated
Zaccheus and climbed a tree, while the
buck stood guard at the bottom with
fire in his eyes and frothing at the
mouth with rage. The brief associa-
ton Of that bear with the pious colony
at Metlakahtla It seems did not eradi-
cate all the savage nature Of the brute.
But 1t will probably wait till it Is big
ger before Il tries to eat that buck
again. Portland OysgoniaH.

The court meets at noon. In the

his appearance puts on black silk
robe which completely covers his per-
son from neck to foot. Standing in
the door of the court room the United
States Marshal announces in stento-
rian tones: "The Honorable, the Chief
Justice and the Associate Justices of
the Supreme Court Of the United
States of America" Immediately

The members of the bar present arise
as the court files in and when its men,
bers are seated the bench and bar sa-
lutte each other with profound bow.
Then the MarshaPs voice is heard:
"Oyez, oyez, oyer; the Honorable, the
Supreme Court of the United States is
now assembled in session. God
preserve the United States of Amer
lea. Let order be preserved" Instantly
quiet reigns, and the clerk begins to
call the cases on the docket.

All.Paper CHARS.

smokers will be interested to know
that not a thousand miles from Albany
there is a firm which makes large
quantities of paper for this avowed
purpose. The plan of operation is
said to be this: The paper, on reach
ing the tobacco warehouse, is repeat
eddy soaked in strong decoction of
the plant. It is then cut up and
pressed in moulds which give TO each
sheet the venation of the genuine
leaf tobacco. So close is the imitation
that expert tobacco men and habitual
smokers have been deceived. At
recent gathering in this city cigars
made from this paper tobacco were
passed around and declared excellent.
Many of those present declared the
cigars were made from rare brands,
and SO well was the imitation carried
out that one man actually insisted that
there could be no mistake about the
cigars being genuine tobacco.--Az6any
